ADOPT A DOG

Buttercup

Life is about balance, and Buttercup has the perfect mix of sugar and spice! She’s a great size and the staff here thinks she’s one of the neatest dogs they’ve ever met. She’s a little stressed at the shelter, so her true personality isn’t quite shining through, but she has a goofy side she can’t wait to share with someone who busts her out of here! Her bark may be big, but her heart is much bigger, and she can’t wait to show you that!

Size: 50 lb.
Energy level: Medium
Kids: Ages 10+
Dogs: No thanks!
Cats: No thanks!

Freddy

The days of being an emaciated stray covered in urine stains and sleeping in places no one ever should are far behind this guy! People at the shelter say he’s come such a long way, and is quickly maturing into a pretty awesome dog. He’s smart, handsome, and snuggly — the three best traits in a dog! He’s never known the good life, but he’s hoping that could change with you!

Size: 50 lb.
Energy level: Medium-high, he loves to play and adventure!
Kids: Ages 13+, he’s still learning how to dog!
Dogs: No thanks, he wants all your love!
Cats: Not tested

Raven

Raven just breaks our hearts. She came from a background of chaos and you can see it in her eyes. She’s an easy-to-please kind of girl and mischievous in all the best ways (like finding treat bags and helping herself to the amount she obviously deserves ─ which is the entire bag!). Raven is looking for a consistent, patient, and calm home while she learns that there are people in this world that want to give her peace. She’s becoming more depressed at the shelter and needs out ASAP before she loses all hope.

Size: 70 lb.
Energy level: Medium, a mix of mental and physical stimulation is best for her
Kids: Older would be best, she likes a calmer home
Dogs: Possibly, with a slow intro and she seems to prefer male dogs
Cats: Probably not

Lady

She’s basically an Olympic athlete in dog form and we love that! She’s smart as heck, catches on to training FAST, and look at her ─ just gorgeous! If you’re looking for a buddy to do some cool stuff with like agility, or go for runs, or just a fun dog to play with, Lady is your girl!

Size: 45 lb.
Energy level: High, but more than willing to do whatever you want!
Kids: Yes!
Dogs: Yes!
Cats: Not tested

Gerald

This old man was found tied to a pole in a forest preserve with the saddest little face we’ve seen. He was covered in giant patches of missing hair but came into the shelter licking our faces and happy to be around humans. He’s a middle aged gentleman with the perfect amount of playful and cuddly energy. His hair is growing back, his heart is healing, and now it’s time for his forever home to find him!

Size: 80 lb.
Energy level: Medium, enjoys walking but is also such a cuddle bug
Kids: Yes!
Dogs: He comes on a little strong but he likes dogs!
Cats: Not tested

Lil Bit

Oh Lil Bit has taken a Lotta Bit of our hearts. She was found as a stray and followed into a junkyard where other dogs were being kept. She essentially ended up saving herself and two other dogs that came to us! She’s the shyest of the bunch, so she gets overlooked, but she deserves so much more than a kennel at a shelter after being a hero. Lil Bit has the greatest puppy eyes you’ve ever seen and she’s got a heart of gold that’s ready to go to HER hero.

Size: 65 lb.
Energy level: Medium
Kids: Ages 12+
Dogs: Yes!!!

Whether he’s zooming around the yard or snuggling up after a day of play, Ken knows how to keep life interesting. He’s ready to be the star of the show—and maybe your new best friend! If you’re looking for a dog with charm, enthusiasm, and a big heart, Ken is your guy.

Jim

Meet Jim! This Scooby-Doo lookalike is ready to find his forever crew! After a few weeks in foster, Jim is living his best life and learning the ins and outs of house life. He loves to snuggle, walk, and play all day! When not snuggling with his foster family on the couch, you can find him sunbathing in the backyard or investigating the doggy pool. Come down to the shelter and meet this friendly goofball. He just might be the Scooby to your Shaggy!

Raylan

This tall, handsome, peculiar dude came to us in January and has had our hearts since! Raylan is a stoic fella who doesn’t always wear his heart on his sleeve, but we can’t really blame him considering he’s looking for a family of his own. He might make you pay for his love in treats, but the return on investment is one of the best around! Ray may look like a big tough guy, but he’ll hop around like a little bunny once he knows you’re his person! He’d be perfect if you’re looking for a partner-in-crime or a partner-in-life, whichever you prefer!

Size: 65 lb.
Energy level: Medium – let’s go for a nice long walk but cuddles are a must!

Ariel

In foster

Like the Disney princess, this girl is magical! Once found as a stray wandering an industrial area, Ariel now wants all the gizmos and gadgets (aka food and warm blankies), as well as the good life with a family who loves her. Her cute little face ─ and the wiggliest butt we currently have ─ make her so special! Come check her out and you can have an actual princess as a companion!

Size: 50 lb.
Energy level: Medium
Kids: Ages 10+, she’s still learning that full-body greetings require someone who weighs more than her!
Dogs: Yes, but she comes on a little strong
Cats: Not tested

Orville

In foster

Meet Orville! This big, lovable boy is searching for his forever home. Orville is the best of both worlds – a snuggler with a surprising athletic ability. He has great leash manners and loves going on long walks with the volunteers! Orville came to us as a stray, and he’s ready to trade kennel life for a cozy couch. Could you be the one to give this gentle giant the loving home he deserves? Everything’s better with Orville in your life!

Dave

In foster

I was tied to a dumpster near a junkyard and left with so many wounds all over my body. I’m understandably a little nervous at the shelter, but I’m so easily won over with a single treat and a nice little head scratch. If you want a dog who’s going to get stopped on every walk to hear how handsome he is, I’m your dude! A place to snuggle up with you is all I’m looking for – I’m an easy to please kind of guy and can’t wait to find a family of my own!

Size: 60 lb.
Energy level: Medium, a nice walk and some training tires me out
Kids: Ages 16+
Dogs: Not for me!
Cats: No thanks!

Ralphie

In foster

I may look like a big tough guy, but I’m soft as mush for the people I love! I’ve had a rough past including being on the run in the bitter cold winter last year but the team here is doing their best to find my perfect home. I’m a bit of a shy dude at first and it might take a visit or two to warm up to new people, but I’m trying really hard to be the best me I can be. Someone who has patience to help me learn is a must and in return you’ll get endless cuddles and zoomies that’ll make your day! I know I can make someone happy and I’m hoping it’s you!

Size: 55 lb. but a little chonky right now
Energy level: Medium
Kids: Ages 16+
Dogs: With the right fit
